Guest newl Guests Posted 04/03/06 10:57 AM Share Posted 04/03/06 10:57 AM Got an Escort 8500 here. A large percentage of reviews I read rated it the best. Keep in mind too that the top of the line Bel isn't too far behind in capability but the margin is still there. The price was also heaps better. Can't complain for $400AUD new in the trademark Escort case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDOHC When in doubt ... Accelerate! Member 440 Member For: 21y 3m 25d Location: Melbourne, Hoppers Xing Posted 05/03/06 10:06 AM Share Posted 05/03/06 10:06 AM At the end of the day though, if you aren't speeding you won't get caught will you? It's like saying "watch out for speed cameras"... it doesnt matter if you're not speeding.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I hope there is one the works well Sorry XXXR6T that's crud .... whether its 10k over or 10k under the limit if a cop pull you over and makes some cock and bull story about how he was measuring you with his speedo or he thinks you were doing a certain limit because you drive a XR6T and it looks sweet he will get his way... cops above the laws ALWAYS... How many cruises have I been on 100 on a freeway and watch a traffic operations patrol car brink past at least 20kmh over the limit.You NEED to know where theses D*ckH*ads are at ALL times... I turn off at the next street or pretend to pull over to answer my phone the SECOND I see a cop in my close visinity, and am ALWAYS scanning ahead religiously to see it coming ...

And by the time a user knows they are being pinged, they allege, it's too late anyway. But I don't know for real, because I don't have one and I've never used one.

They found it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
